We tend to go by the ID. Why do you question it?The tag says Acer Palmatum and by looking at the branches and the twigs it certainly looks like a japanese maple.
Someone questioned me if it was a japanese maple. Just answering the question.We tend to go by the ID. Why do you question it?
I think I will give it a go and try a few layerings to start. Thanks!I would, if I had the chance. I'd do my first layer right where there's the little wiggle in the trunk- grow the top of the tree as a layer and use that to get some movement in the new trunk. The bottom will have that sweet bark texture, and you can always layer that in a few years if the roots are total crap below the surface. If you've got the space, I'd go for it.
Bizarre...to question an ID. But fair enoughSomeone questioned me if it was a japanese maple. Just answering the question.

Ahhh I see. Missed all the before hand going on. Yes, true many cultivars.I did not question an ID. No ID was given.
There are multiple maple species.
Did not even wonder about cultivar.cultivars

Just "maple"
Won't be sure if it is a JM until the leaves mature in spring but, given the label I'd be pretty confident.Anyone have seen similar bark on some regular green maple before?
very good to know thanks !I have seen this type of bark on several of my shirasawanum crosses. They seem to "bark up" quite young. It's not so much "rough bark" as more of a mature bark on small trees.....at least in the case of mine.
